At Bits & Pretzels in Munich, Barack Obama spoke about gender equality, among other things. Men need to learn to listen better Executives to become active. Is it really that simple?
For Barack Obama, it's simple: "As a leader, you have to Problem and then make appropriate decisions,” he said at the Bits & Pretzels start-up festival in Munich.
And further: “Men always think they know what they are talking about, even if they have no idea, Women are much more reserved, so you have to encourage them.” When asked how his male Employees Obama just said, "I told them to shut up and listen."
In fact, it's actually not quite as simple as one would like from politicians. Because it can often be observed that women are not the first to say “Here!” yell when it comes to a new task Workplace goes.
Men, on the other hand, are said to be more bold, daring and have a higher tolerance for risk, which means that they are designed for assertiveness Society often made the bigger career leaps.
Women, on the other hand, are said to have a more emotional relationship to work; according to the common doctrine of many experts, it is supposedly more important to them than to feel comfortable Money zu to earn. I only partially agree.
Because on the one hand I had an exciting one just last week Conversation on the subject of returning to work around the age of 50 and the question of why women are in this Age generally trust too little.
On the other hand, just on the train, on the way home from the Obama event, I came across a very successful example, like some People (usually actually men in my experience), even turning defeats into victories:
A young man on the train reported on the phone about a musical audition - and why it hadn't been taken. His statement: "I've played better than ever in my life, but the level was so blatantly high." I have never heard a similar euphemistic statement from a woman.
That is partly why it is so for sure in women themselves, theirs Career and Finance into your own hands gain weight. 5 tips:
Does that mean again that women are to blame because they want the wrong thing and theirs Set not define exactly? In my opinion, this is exactly where the real crux of this statement, which has been heard again and again, lies: if it is actually more important to women in the job, in the job satisfied to be than to earn a lot of money, that's completely ok.
This only becomes problematic because they still complain about the injustices, but do little to change it. There are also real initiatives that put women into male professions, for example in the Technology and the natural sciences.
However, as Barack Obama has recognized - using his daughters as an example - they fall far short of the mark: When choosing these math courses, he found that women learn very differently from men, much more team-oriented and communicative. "So to get women excited about tech jobs where they are underrepresented, you have to start with the education system," he said.
Doing a lot shows how fundamentally the issue of emancipation has to be tackled. Positive On the other hand, what agrees with him is that the younger generation is much more self-confident in demanding equal rights. And that is exactly the right approach that could herald the end of female modesty.
